"Groups and Symmetries: From Finite Groups to Lie Groups presents an introduction to the theory of group representations and its applications in quantum mechanics. Unlike many other texts, this introductory book deals with the theory of representations of finite groups, compact groups, linear Lie groups and their Lie algebras, concisely and in one volume." "This book is illustrated with portraits and a few historical remarks. With only linear algebra and calculus as prerequisites, Groups and Symmetries: From Finite Groups to Lie Groups is accessible to advanced undergraduates in mathematics and physics. and will also be of interest to beginning graduate students. Exercises for each chapter and a collection of problems with complete solutions make this an ideal text for the classroom and for independent study."--BOOK JACKET

In 1915 and 1916 Emmy Noether was asked by Felix Klein and David Hilbert to assist them in understanding issues involved in any attempt to formulate a general theory of relativity, in particular the new ideas of Einstein. She was consulted particularly over the difficult issue of the form a law of conservation of energy could take in the new theory, and she succeeded brilliantly, finding two deep theorems. But between 1916 and 1950, the theorem was poorly understood and Noether's name disappeared almost entirely. People like Klein and Einstein did little more then mention her name in the vario

"This volume consists of a set of ten lectures conceived as both introduction and up-to-date survey on discrete integrable systems. It address primarily graduate students and nonspecialist researchers but will also benefit lectures looking for suitable material for advanced courses and researchers interested in specific topics."--BOOK JACKET

The lectures that comprise this volume constitute a comprehensive survey of the many and various aspects of integrable dynamical systems. The present edition is a streamlined, revised and updated version of a 1997 set of notes that was published as Lecture Notes in Physics, Volume 495. This volume will be complemented by a companion book dedicated to discrete integrable systems. Both volumes address primarily graduate students and nonspecialist researchers but will also benefit lecturers looking for suitable material for advanced courses and researchers interested in specific topics

The theory of nonlinear systems and, in particular, of integrable systems is related to several very active fields of research in theoretical physics. Many mathematical aspects of nonlinear systems, both continuous and discrete, are analyzed here with particular emphasis on the domains of inverse-scattering techniques, singularity analysis, the bilinear formalism, chaos in nonlinear oscillators, Lie-algebraic and group-theoretical methods, classical and quantum integrability, bihamiltonian structures. The book will be of considerable interest to those who wish to study integrable systems, and to follow the future developments, both in mathematics and in theoretical physics, of the theory of integrability
